Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We wanted to understand the history of the Impressionists and Montmartre. Ana was knowledgeable and a wonderful storyteller. She brought it all to life. As we walked the streets, we felt as if we could go back in time. She offered many insights that put things into perspective and fired our imaginations at the same time. Because she is an artist herself, her sensibilities and integrity added to the entire experience."
"It was a great experience. Ana was well prepared and gave us a bunch of anecdotes about the life of artists. Despite our difficulties with English language, Ana was really patient and easygoing. Highly recommended!!!"
"My wife & I were lucky enough to have spent 3 hours with Ana exploring the hidden streets of Montmartre, made even more special by Ana's knowledge and detailed stories of 20th century Parisian artists. The experience was more like a casual walk, chatting with a close friend, no topic was off limits & Ana's research and genuine love of the area and it's history was extremely genuine. we would recommend Ana to friends, family & others looking to soak up a small part of this great city's history. A true highlight of our stay in Paris!"
"Having been to Paris multiple times before, my friend and I were looking for a different perspective and found it. I loved the idea of carrying an ipad around to have peeks into Paris through the eyes of historic artists. Ana did a lot of research into background stories, which made history come to life. All in all, it was a really good experience. "

The heart of Bohemian Paris beats in Montmartre. This is where artists like Picasso and Renoir lived and worked. A private tour reveals its hidden vineyards and artistic squares beyond the crowds.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was the quintessential artist of Bohemian Paris. His iconic posters captured the electrifying energy of the Moulin Rouge and the characters that defined the Belle Époque nightlife.
Live the Bohemian dream for a day. Sip absinthe in a historic bar, enjoy a simple, delicious meal in a local bistro, and hunt for unique treasures in the sprawling flea markets, just like the artists of old.
The free-spirited Bohemian soul of Paris is still thriving. Discover it in the vibrant street art of Belleville or the chic, artistic boutiques and galleries of Le Marais. The creative spirit lives on.

"Ana's tour was absolutely the perfect introduction to the art that you can see at Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie! She has obviously put a lot of research into the tour and it totally showed; she shared some great stories of the artists, the area, and of course the art itself. The tour ends on a metro line that takes you straight the Musée d'Orsay so we were able to go to the museum that afternoon with a totally new perspective on the art we were seeing. A unique and informative new way to experience the neighbourhood of Montmartre as well. I think it complimented the visits to the museums perfectly :)"
"I contacted Ana from Australia to tell her that I would love to see where the artists from the late 1800s to early 1900s lived and worked in Montmartre as I have been writing about them for some time. Could not recommend Ana highly enough! My tour was excellent - informative and interesting and I appreciate all the preparation she did. Thanks so much from Andrea at Kiama Art Gallery. "
"I gifted this tour to my best friend, who simply adores Impressionist Art! Ana was excellent at story-telling, bringing to life events that happened ages ago. She used visual aids on her ipad whenever possible, which was very helpful. It isn't easy to conduct tours when the homes and studios of the artists no longer exist or are no longer accessible to the public but Ana did wonderfully. If you are a fan of the Impressionist Movement, this tour is for you! "
"We booked Ana at short notice and she was so accommodating. Having visited Monmartre before, we wanted to delve a bit deeper into its history. Ana brought the hill alive with stories of the artists that used to live there. Thank you so much Ana, your tour was a highlight of our trip. "
"If you think you know Art and Paris then think again.In three hours your mind will be blown by an incredibly well researched, articulate and passionate guide on this fantastic tour. I cannot recommend it highly enough. So many fantastic stories around every corner ,all so well told and the inside track behind every famous work. This is a must do if visiting Paris and you want to see it as the Artists did. Ana’s itinerary and use of digital media to enhance the experience is superb. A wonderful afternoon."
"Ana was delightful. Spoke English well and her enthusiasm and understanding of the bohemian era and artists outstanding. Excellent. Thankyou. Jane Arrowtown New Zealand"
